Having not done it last year after having told myself I'd have to the year before, I swore I'd attempt it this year.
I have obviously done nothing to that effect. Admittedly the MAT I sat this morning is mostly responsible for me not having planned or even as much as considered it, so presumably I'm legitimately justified in not having done so, but I do feel somehow like I really, really oughta have done something. On the other hand, Schmaltz II has chalked up 38,000 words to date, so I could just pret- no wait that's a stupid idea...
What I might do is use it as an excuse to do some writing regardless, maybe through some tenuous connection of showing solidarity. Bar the aforementioned exploit, I haven't done any proper writing since... well I was going to say February but then I'd wound that side of things down before my "hiatus" anyway... so I'm long overdue some. I could end up with a short story or two, if I'm lucky, and knowing me they'll probably total 50,000 words pretty damned quickly whether I intend them to or not...
